CNY Dinner on 12 January 2014

Older but Happier

Once more, a majority of us old friends (literary growing old) from USM 1975 got together to have dinner to commemorate the New Year of the Horse.

This time around (12 January 2014), we had it in an untried restaurant in SEAPARK. It is called the Restoran Kari Kepala Ikan Tiga. This is the third restaurant from the chain currently operating in Kuchai  Lama and Puchong

We had, as usual, a rousing time, bonding with one another.

Food-wise, the restaurant got three orders totally wrong.

Signature fish dish!

No waiting, let's eat!

Kooi Ming,we saved some fish for you!

So fast, the fish disappeared!

No bones, I hope...

Wah!,good curry!

Derek: Eat some more,lah!

 

So,you drove from outstation?

Have some business in Teluk Intan

Firstly, they substituted the shark-fin soup (we requested so in support of the dwindling number of sharks in our oceans) with the uncalled for black herbal chicken and pig stomach soup when all we asked was to substitute the shark fin with scallops. However, the soup was pleasing to the palate. So, no real complaints here.

Secondly, the curry fish maw dish did not materialised at all. We got instead one with squids. The curry dish was okay but we ought to have the fish maw which I believe is more expensive that the commonplace rubbery sotong.

Cukup makan for today,lah!

Derek and Cat talk shop

Thirdly, they dished out a plate of cereal prawns to us which we had cancelled earlier on and it was to be replaced with salted chicken. We took it back and they had to cooked the chicken dish instead. Took some time though for them to serve.

The dessert of longan and sea-coconut was just too sweet.

After taking some candid photographs and a group photo, we went to have a teh-tarik session at the restaurant at the side of Giant Supermarket in nearby Paramount Garden.

We even discussed a possible trip for those interested to Perth as Air-Asia is giving 20% off the standard fare in the next two months.

After talking shop for an hour, we bade adieu and planned again to meet on 31 May 2014.

Venue?

If there are no alternative restaurant, we have decided to go back to Golden Dragon City Restaurant in Paramount Garden.

Great outing.
